Inverted Bird Blind is a box made of salvaged timber, placed in the rural landscape of central Tennessee. A slit in one of the sides reveals paintings of seventy-two species of bird, seen by the artist on the 175 acres of Yellow Bird. In a traditional bird blind the observer's gaze is directed outward; Inverted Bird Blind directs the gaze inward. Rather than enabling close range observation of wild birds, as the traditional bird blind does, Inverted Bird Blind enables scrutinization of the birdwatcher's mind. Curated by David Wood.

Virgo Rising, Yellow Bird Artscape, Woodbury, Tennessee, USA, 2016

Virgo Rising was aimed at evoking a strong sense of place, honoring the fall equinox of 2016. A line of solar-charged lights, running due east-west, connected the points of sunrise and sunset on the day of the equinox. A natural limestone slab with an astronomical engraving remains as a permanent element, embedded in the soil. A collaboration with Emily C. Thomas.

Magnetic Alignment, Van Eyck orphanage, Amsterdam, NLD, 2016

The 2016 thesis exhibition of Sandberg Instituut (partly) took place in the famous Amsterdam orphanage by Dutch architect Aldo van Eyck. After noting that the geographical position of the building obeyed the arbitrary pattern of city streets, I proposed a "correction" of van Eyck's design by rotating the building seven degrees, lining it up with Earth's magnetic field. The rotation was visualized in blue lines on the floor of the building.

Mount Zuidas, City of Amsterdam, NLD, 2016

Highrise buildings have been discovered by animal species such as the peregrine falcon, whose range was originally restricted to natural mountains and cliffs. The public art project Mount Zuidas revolved around the concept of the city as alpine habitat. Visitors were invited to experience a falcon flight in virtual reality, previously recorded by GPS. A falcon mask was worn over virtual reality goggles, so that participants were transformed into a human-animal hybrid for the duration of the flight. In the botanical garden Botanische Tuin Zuidas lava rocks were attached to a wall, serving as the prototype for the concept of Probiotics for Public Space. The porous, water-retaining rocks are the growth base for microbes, plants, fungi and invertebrates, building the urban ecosystem from the bottom up. Mount Zuidas was made possible by a grant from the City of Amsterdam and the support of TAAK. The project occurred in the context of the Cure Master at Sandberg Instituut, of which the artist was a student, and in collaboration with Natalie Jeremijenko's xClinic.
